SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 454,403, dated June 16,1891. Application filed November 26, 1890. Serial No. 372,676. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADOLF ODKOLEK, freiherr von Augezd, captain ofhorse, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, residing at Vienna, in theProvince of Lower Austria, in the Empire of Austria-Hungary, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Quick- Fire Guns; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

Theinvention relates to rapid-firingbreechloading or machine guns, andhas for its object to control the movements of the loading and firingmechanisms by the expansive power of the gases developed during thecombustion of the explosive and to combine therewith means whereby suchguns may be loaded and fired by hand.

To these ends the invention consists in the combination, with the breechand the cartridge-feeding mechanisms, of an actuating device operated bythe gases resulting from the combustion of the explosive charge and apower storing device or accumulator controlled by the actuating deviceand co-operating to impart the necessary movements to the breech andcartridge-feeding mechanisms to effectthe rapid loading and firing ofthe gun.

The invention further consists in the construction of the breech andcartridge-feeding mechanisms and in the combination of 00-01)- erativeelements, as will now be fully described, refe'rence being had to theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of thegun. Fig. l is a longitudinal sectional elevation of a gun constructedaccording to this invention,

illustrating the breech mechanism in the position it assumes immediatelyafter firing, and Fig. 2 is a like View illustrating the said mechanismin its position ready for loading, the cartridge-feeding mechanism inboth figures being removed. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the gun withoutthe cartridge-feeding mech- Fig. 4 is a section of the breech bolt "orblock; Fig. 5, a top plan view of said bolt,

and Fig. (3 a section taken on line y y of Fig. 4. Figs. 7,8, and 0 aresections taken, respectively, on lines a: or, w 00, and x x of Fig. 1.Fig. 10 is a section about on line mcot Fig. 1 showing thecartridge-feeding mechanism. Fig. 11 is a left-hand side view of thecartridge-feed hopper, a portion of the breechbolt and the receiverbeing shown, the lastnamed in section. Fig. 12 is a right-hand side Viewof the cartridge-feed hopper; and Figs. 13 and ll are detail views, theformer of the cartridge-carrier-actuating devices and the latter of themeans for securing the cartridges to the carrier. elevationsillustrating modifications in the means for actuating the breech-bolt. A

A indicates the gunbarre1, A the receiver, and D the breech-bolt. Thebarrel A is provided with a suitable bearing for the forward end of apiston-cylinder B, that is in communication with the bore of the gunthrough a duct or port a, formed in the gun, the bearing, and thecylinder, respectively, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The outer end of thecylinder B is closed by a screw valve or plug 1), of such length as tocover the port or duct to a greater or less extent or entirely, as thecase may be, thus providing means for regulating the flow of gas fromthe gun to the cylinder B or for cutting off such flow when it isdesired to load and fire by hand-power, as well as means for gainingaccess to the interior ot' the cylinder for the purpose of cleaning thesame. The location of the duct a will in a measure depend upon the powerrequired to operate the breech mechanism and the amount of power to bestored up for the same purpose, as well as upon the diameter of the boreof the gun, as it is obvious that the duration and degree of pressure ofthe gas upon the piston will increase in proportion to the distance ofthe port or. from the muzzle of the gun.

Figs. 15, 16, 17, and 18 are side The cylinder B has near its rear endan exhaust-port b, and contains a piston C, whose rod 0 extends somedistance into the receiver A, which is provided with a suitable bearing(e Figs. 1, 2, 7, and 8, in which said rod has free motion, and abovesaid bearing are formed two ledges or guide-ribs a, for purposespresently explained.

has a slot into which takes the upper end of The piston-rod 0 a lever e,that is pivoted at e in a housing or casing E, secured to the receiverA, and to the rear wall of said housing is secured a leaf-spring e,which constitutes the power accumulator or storing device. The lever chas a stud or pin 9 that has bearing on the free end of the spring e,and in order to compress a comparatively strong spring with as littlefiexure as possible the-pin or stud e is secured to the lever near itsfulcrum, and the spring is bent accordingly, so that a comparativelysmall spring capable of exerting the necessary power can be used. Whenthe charge in the gun is exploded and thepiston and its rod are drivenback by the gases entering the cylinderB, the lever e is also movedbackward, thereby compressing the spring e, which drives the piston-rodand piston forward again as soon as the piston reaches a point touncover the port 1) in thecylinder B, at which time the projectile alsoleaves the bore of the gun, thereby relieving the piston of allpressure. The piston-rod also actuates the breech-bolt andcartridge-feeding mechanism; but inasmuch as the projectile has somedistance to travel before leaving the gun after the piston andpiston-rod commence to move back under the pressureof the gases in thecylinder B, and to prevent the uncovering of the breech of the gunbefore the projectile has left the latter,Iprovidethefollowing means:ThebreeohboltD contains in its forward end a short firing-pin (W, thespring of which is so arranged as to hold the said pin retracted withinthe bolt, and in rear of said pin the receiver is slottedlongitudinally, as shown at 07?, and into said slot projects a radialarm 0 on the piston-rod c, which arm has a nose or striker e adapted tostrike upon the firing-pin 61 thereby driving the pin forward againstthe stress of its spring to fire the charge. The slot d is of suchlength that the arm 0 will reach the rear end thereof at the same timethe projectile leaves the gun.

To prevent back fire, the breech-bolt is securely locked to the breechthrough the medium of the following instrumentalities: At its rear endthe bolthas an extension or arm a,

towhich is pivoted a sector-shaped locking dog or tumbler D, whose faces(1 abut against Y the front face of the guide-ribs a, above referred to,which ribs are arranged below the pivot of the tumbler when saidbreech-bolt is in a position to close the breech, as shown in Fig. 1.When, however, the breech-bolt is moved back by the piston-rod, thetumbler is tilted, thefront face of the ribs acting as a trippingdevice, a half-revolution being imparted to the tumbler D, which willthen slide along the guide-ribs a as the bolt is moving rearwardly. Thetumbler is held against rotation when in the position shown in Fig. 1 byan overhanging heel-piece or arm 0' at the, rear end of the piston-rodc, which lies ina plane above the pivot of the tumbler, upon which thearm 0 impinges during the forward movement of thepiston-rod, therebycarrying the breech-bolt along, and as the bolt reaches the limit of itsforward motion the tumbler is tilted by the arm 0', which then passesover the tumbler and between it and an overhanging ledge or shoulder aon the receiver, as shown in Fig. 1. It will be seen that thebreech-bolt cannot move.

rearwardly until the piston-rod c has moved back sufiiciently to movethe arm c clear of the tumbler D and this occurs when the arm c vstrikes the-rear end of the slot d in the breech-bolt D, or a momentbefore, and as soon as the breech-bolt has moved back sufficiently tobring the empty cartridge-shell clear of the breech A thespring-extractor at, Fig. 5, ejects the shell from the receiver, whichis slotted for this purpose.

As the pis-- ton-rod and breech-bolt reach the limit of their rearwardmovement, the gases are vexhausted through port I) and the bore of thegun, and the spring 6 at once moves the parts forward again. During thisforward movement the breech-bolt is not propelled by the arm 0 on thepiston-rod, but by the heel-piece o impinging on the tumbler D, asshown'in Fig.2, and as above set forth, and during this forward movementa fresh cartridge is also fed to the receiver, as follows.

Referring to Figs. 10 to 14 inclusive, the cartridges to be fed to thegun are secured to a belt G by means of two soft or flexible wire loopsg, Fig. 14, and said belt travels over a guide-roll h, mounted in theupper portion of a feed hopper or chute H,,thence between two feed ordrawing rolls 6 and i, having their nip in the plane of the periphery ofthe guide-roll and mounted in suitable bearings provided on the outside.of the chute below the feed-roll. The journal of the roller '11 carriesa ratchet-wheel 2' and a spring-pawl 2', in

engagement with the ratchet-wheel, is pivoted carriage i having anextension 2' that projects into a slot formed in that portion of thereceiver A in which the. piston-rod c has its bearings, and saidpiston-rod is provided with two curvilinear notches 0 into which thecarriage-extension 2 enters whenever they are brought opposite theretoduring the reciprocations of the piston-rod, the carriage beingcontinually urged in the direction of the piston-rod by a spring i Itwill thus be seenthat the carriage has a-reciprocating motion impartedthereto by the piston-rod, so that at.

each. outward motion of the carriage the pawl thereby moving thecartridge-belt also.

The feed hopper or chute H is constructed with the vertical wall 7L andthe twoparallel inclined walls h and h, andthe drawing-rolls '6 and c"are so arranged as to draw the belt down along the vertical wall 71 Theinner inclined wall extends to the guide-roll h, there being just enoughspace between them to al= 1 25 will move the ratchet-wheel a givendistance,

low the cartridge-belt free passage, and said inner inclined wall h hastwo vertical slots 7L5, so arranged relatively to the cartridge-belt asthat the soft or flexible wire" fasteningloops will pass along theslots. As the cartridges cannot follow the belt after they reach thepoint where said belt passes between the roller h and inner inclinedwall h, the belt as it moves down will draw upon the wire loops and openthe same, thus releasing the cartridges, as clearly shown in Fig. 10. Atthe delivery end the feed-hopper Ais provided with a more or lesselastic lip it, that contracts a portion of the mouth of the hopper andprevents a cartridge from falling out, the opening being, however,sufiiciently large to allow a portion of the cartridge to projecttherethrough into the path of the breech-bolt. As

the breech-bolt is thrown forward under the stress of the spring c, itwill impinge on the butt of the cartridge and carry the same along untilits rear end has moved clear of the lips h, when it will drop out, atwhich time, however, the bullet end of the cartridge will already .havepenetrated into the breech. In fact, the hopper H is so arranged on thereceiver A that the cartridge will have to move but a very shortdistance before the bullet enters the breech A by which it is thusguided. Before the piston-rod and breeoh bolt reach the limit of theirforward motion the overhanging arm a on the rod will tilt thelocking-tumbler forward and slide over the same and between it and theoverhanging ledge a on the receiver A, and simpltaneonsly therewith thestriker or hammer-nose c of the arm 0 on the piston rod cwill strike thefiring-pin and fire the charge.

The gun may be loaded and fired by hand only, to which end the plug Z)is screwed into the piston-cylinder B to cover the port 66.

The lever e is provided with a handle 6 Fig. 7, that projects through acurved slot (shownin dotted linesin Figs. 1 and 2) formed in the housingE, and to the rear end of the receiver is secured a spring-sear f,adapted to take into a notch 0 Figs. 1 and 2, in the pis ton-rod, thesear being operated by a trigger f in the form of a bell-crank lever.WVhen the gun is to be fired automatically, the sear is held out of thepath of the notch in the piston-rod c by means of the lanyard secured tothe trigger, or by means of an arm f (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1,)pivoted on the hinge-pintle e, by means of which the housing E is hingedto the receiver at its rear end, it being secured to the receiver at itsforward end by means of a pin 6 By removing the pin e the housing E canbe swung back, thereby withdrawing the lever e from the slot in thepiston-rod c, which rod can then be drawn out of the receiver togetherwith the breech-bolt D.

- The receiver A is provided at its forward end with trunnions a forobvious purposes.

It is not necessary that the piston should be movable. A stationarypiston having a passage in communication with the bore of the gun may beused, in which case the actuating-rod will be connected with the movablepiston-cylinder, as shown in Fig. 15.

Insteadof thearrangement of spring shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a coiledspring 0 on the connecting-rod and abutting against the receiver andmovable piston-cylinder maybe used, as shown in Fig. 16.

To obtain a great rapidity in firing with a comparatively limitedpiston-stroke, the piston or connecting rod may be connected with thelever e ata point nearits fulcrum, either above, as shown in Fig. 17, orbelow, through the medium of a crank-arm e as shown in Fig. 18, and inboth arrangements the lever crank on the pivot thereof, it is necessarythat the rod should move in the direction of the projectile, in order tomove the longer arm of the lever e backward, in which case thepiston-cylinder is also movable on the piston, which is then applied soas to project forward from its bearings, as shown in said Fig. 18.Finally, instead of the cartridge-feeding devices above described, anyother well-known devices may be employed without departing from thespirit of my invention.
